Roy R. Riggs: If you have never read “A Wrinkle In Time” because it was banned, you have missed a treasure. This book is a 50 year old award winning jewel. Yes, it is challenging. But you will grow by the young lives who are touched by a special relationship.

Deb: not my favorite book

Adam c: Great book. I was told to read it when i was young and never did, eventually read it now, as adult, just to get it off my check list, and was suprised by it. I liked it, and watched the movie after i finished reading. I like the book alot better, there is some big differences.

Recommend to young and adult alike.

SassyPants: I read this book so many times when I was a child and young teen. When I was in the 5th grade, I won a competition by reading the most books of any student in my class. As a reward, I was allowed to pick one book from my teacher's personal classroom library to have as my very own. I chose A Wrinkle in Time, probably because I liked the cover! I have never forgotten this book. I loved it so much that I refused to see the movie. Re-reading it was like sitting down with an old friend. The familiar scenes kept delighting me from beginning to end.

Of course, when I was in grade school, the religious, political, and social themes went mostly over my head. I just loved the story for its combination of science fiction and fairy tale. Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which along with Aunt Beast are wonderful characters who I would love to meet. This would be a wonderful chapter book to read with a child and will spark a lot of discussion.

A Wrinkle in Time was published in 1962. The author had a hard time finding a publisher willing to take the risk because the book could not be easily pigeonholed into one genre. Also, the material was thought to be too complex for younger...

trekkerkev: a good book to read before watching the movie. Surprisingly remembered many parts of it so many years later.

Er Jwee Chiek 余瑞傑: Obsessed with in depth analysis of the TV series, Lost, I sought out this book, thanks to Sawyer (Josh Holloway) in the first season reading “A Wrinke in Time” after "Watership down" from a stash of books he salvaged from the plane wreckage. I can see the connection now between "Lost" and "A wrinkle in Time". Cliche as it may sound, its about good versus evil and light versus dark. Anyways,  A Wrinkle in Time: 50th Anniversary Commemorative Edition (A Wrinkle in Time Quintet Book 1)  is a rather special novella that requires substance in the reader to perceive and enjoy the deeper meanings. To the uninitiated, the story seemed like a fantasy about 3 witches aiding ordinary folks in tesseracting (time travel or worm-holing light years across galaxies in the twinkling of an eye) in search of their long lost father. For me, it is a uniquely beautiful tale, deceptively simple but really encompasses complex themes in modern physics, ecclesiastical and socio-political governance. The evil Dark Thing (like the Dark Smoke in Lost) and IT (Giant Brain that lust for absolute mind control of the humans or any living creatures - reminded me of an episode in Futurama on the evil...

Prison Librarian: I heard the author had a difficult time getting this story published because the publishers thought it was too mature for a young audience. It has become a family classic especially as an example of society, authority and human compassion. I consider the story to be more philosophical than C.S. Lewis Science Fiction stories. It mixes fantasy and science similar to Pers Anthony but it stretches the reader's mind to entertain the meaning of the story. I have read the book, but found it even more enjoyable to listen to the 6 hour audio book. I would highly recommend this book for an adult who has difficulty relating to children. When they read it aloud as a bedtime story, they might enjoy reading it like Peter Falk in The Princess Bride. If they are not hooked by the story, then at least they might experience the wonder that 8 to 10 year olds are so famous.
